She moved to London in the hope of becoming a successful model.
But it seems things don't quite go according to plan for Rosie Webster, as images from the new Coronation Street spin-off show.
In the shots, Helen Flanagan, who plays Rosie in the ITV programme, is seen trying to make it in the modelling industry after landing a job on Lorraine Kelly's morning TV show.

However, after just seconds on screen, Rosie gets involved in a bitter catfight with a modelling rival.
The video of the catfight is quickly posted on the internet and Rosie becomes an internet sensation. leading to her appearance as a guest on Loose Women before being interviewed by Johnny Vaughan and Lisa Snowdon on Capital Radio.
Rosie is also seen attempting to make her name on various modelling jobs, including a campaign for a new brand of nappies and what appears to be a shower gel, as she reclines on a rock wearing only a revealing gold swimsuit.
And it seems Rosie's career goes from strength to strength during her time in London, as the pretty brunette is also seen collecting a prize from the Glitz Fashion Awards.
On her official website justrosie.co.uk, Rosie boasts of her modelling abilities: 'I'm a woman of many talents.
'I can turn my hand to anything from commercials to high fashion; sports wear to beauty products; outdoor clothing to magazine covers.'

But Rosie also tells her fans she found herself compromised when she was presented with the chance to pose topless for a campaign.
She writes on her blog: 'There's a line I won't cross. I have my standards. And this photographer was suggesting it's holding me back. I know other models are happy doing topless shots and that's fine. But it's not for me and I said so. I was like totally blunt. Thing is, though, I can stand up for myself. Not everyone can.
'I love modelling. And most people in it are totes lovely. But there are a handful of slimeballs who try to get models to do stuff they don't want to. And some of the more naive ones might not think they can say no.
'So my message to any model out there feeling under pressure to do work she doesn't want to is this - only do what you're comfortable with. That way, you'll not be exploited. I mean, look at me. If I can do it, so can you.'
In an extremely tongue-in-cheek blog post, Rosie also talks about making the transition from modelling to acting.
She says: 'I know some people think models are thick. But it’s not true at all. I mean, Naomi Campbell writes books. What people don’t understand, you see, is a model is acting all the time.

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/...48_634x391.jpg
It’s not all just standing around in clothes. No, there’s a lot of acting involved. I mean, if I’m photographed with a male model, we might have to pretend we’re lovers or married.
'That totally takes real skill to pull off. Methodist acting, that’s the technical term. So models are well qualified to be actresses and it’s totes where I could see myself going.
'I mean, who wouldn’t want to be a serious actor and be a Bond girl?'
Rosie is accompanied by boyfriend Jason Grimshaw, played by Ryan Thomas, as she begins her modelling career in London.
And when things don't go to plan, Rosie is comforted by Jason as she sheds a few tears over what might have been.
Talking about her boyfriend and their relationship, Rosie says: 'He's a great looking guy, Jase, and we have so much in common. I mean, my sister's gay and so is his brother! It's like fate that we were meant to be together.
'I can totally see "Rosie and Jason" as the next "Posh and Becks" a real power couple, an inspiration to people not as good looking as us everywhere. Together, we can take on the world and win.'

Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan has promised that there are "dramatic" scenes in store on the soap as her character Rosie Webster faces a new kidnap ordeal.
As first revealed last month, Rosie is to be held captive by twisted John Stape for a second time later this year after he makes a shock return to Weatherfield.
John's (Graeme Hawley) comeback is expected to tie in with his wife Fiz's forthcoming murder trial. Reports have suggested that the killer will attempt to save Fiz from being sent down for his dark crimes.
Flanagan told the Daily Star: "The thing with my character is that she is great fun. But you get to see a different side to her during the John Stape kidnap scenes, because they are very dramatic.
"A vulnerable side comes out. Rosie can be bolshie and in-your-face, but at that point she is stripped bare of everything. Her make-up's gone, her designer clothes - everything. I really enjoyed filming that."
Flanagan continued: "Rosie was so scared during the second time because she now knows that he's killed people. The first time round she didn't know he was a murderer. He was just someone she had a fling with. Now she is even more scared. It's great for me to play."
Rosie is also about to take centre stage in her own online spinoff, which launches on the character's official website today.
CLUTCHING her chest, Corrie star Helen Flanagan stopped mid-scene as she was gripped by a terrifying panic attack.
It was the latest in a series of attacks but, as she returns to the soap tonight when her character Rosie Webster comes back from modelling in London, Helen insists she’s determined to beat them.
Speaking for the first time about her battle, Helen says: “I have recently suffered a few panic attacks. And as anyone who has ever suffered from them knows, they are very scary. I did have one at work and everyone was very understanding but I didn’t know what might have caused it.
“I am speaking to people like Kym Marsh (her co-star) who has said that in the past she suffered from them too.
“I am trying to work out what triggers them so that I can start to deal with them and move forward.
“But I am starting to realise that they are more common than people think and that there are ways of dealing with them.”
The most recent attack was so severe, filming on the Corrie set had to be stopped until she fully recovered.
But Helen, 21, does not believe returning to work after her break had anything to do with it.
In many ways, she’s never been happier. After two years dating Swansea City footballer Scott Sinclair, she’s finally admitted: “He’s the one.”
Smiling, she adds: “This is my longest-ever relationship and he’s the one – of course he is!
“Scott is an amazing person. He’s really down-to-earth, he’s dedicated to his job and he’s just so funny. We have great banter together.
http://images.mirror.co.uk/upl/m4/se...-966911483.jpg
“He’s quiet and modest and a really lovely person. He’s just Scott – there’s no one quite like him.”
With Scott based in Wales with his Premier League team and Helen living in Manchester, the pair had been conducting a long-distance romance.
But then Helen took a three-month sabbatical from the show she first joined as a nine-year-old schoolgirl.
Spending more time with handsome Scott, 22, has helped their love to blossom – and made them determined to overcome any hurdles.
It’s obviously hard sometimes, with it being a long-distance relationship. But I’m used to it now and being at Coronation Street puts things into perspective.
“There are people here who are working away from their kids and that makes me realise that when you’re working you just have to get on with it.
“There will come a point when Scott and I live together and it will be amazing.”
After her break from the show, Helen is back with a bang and is also starring in her own exclusive internet show Just Rosie, which follows Rosie’s fortunes as she seeks fame in London’s fashion world.
The three-part online drama, to be screened on itv.com sees the ambitious model swapping the cobbles of Weatherfield for the bright lights of the capital as she pursues her dream of being a top model.
The spin-off marks 12 years in the show for Helen but she insists she is happy to stay on the Street for the foreseeable future.
“To take some time off like that was amazing,” she says. “When you’ve been on a show for 12 years you need a bit of time out and it was really, really nice. Lots of other people have done it and the producer was fine about it. I met up with all my old friends from school, went shopping, went on holiday, moved house, spent some time with Scott... and got my hair cut.”
Helen’s sexy new blonde crop proved an instant hit with fans and kept her in the public eye even when she was off screen. But now she’s back – and this time she’s back as a brunette.
She adds: “Now I’m back I’m going to grow it longer again. Luckily Scott likes it whichever way I have it!”
Helen met the former Chelsea player in 2009 when he was living in the North West while on loan to Wigan.
She went shopping to Manchester’s Trafford Centre with co-star Brooke Vincent, who plays her on-screen sister Sophie, and Scott tagged along with a male friend of Brooke.
Helen explains: “We went for something to eat. I think Scott actually knew that Brooke was meeting me and that’s why he came, which is quite sweet.
We didn’t particularly hit it off straight away – Scott can be quite quiet – but then he asked for my number and I said, ‘Oh, alright, OK.’ And then we went on a date and I was like – ‘boom!’
http://images.mirror.co.uk/upl/m4/se...-966911483.jpg
“Scott is really talented and dedicated and I’m very proud of him. Obviously he’s really busy with training every day and now he’s in the Premiership there’s pressure, but his manager has said that when he’s got a game in the North West at the weekend he can stay over, which is really nice.”
Helen grew up in Bolton with her nursery nurse mum Julia, her electrical contractor dad Paul, sisters Jane, 29, a costumier, and student Jessica, 18, and 28-year-old electrician brother Tom.
She began acting at the age of four when her parents enrolled her in the Carol Godby Theatre Workshop in nearby Bury. Two years later she began appearing in television commercials for catalogues and clothing companies, including Adams, Daz and Fairy liquid.
She successfully auditioned for Coronation Street when she was nine and subsequently grew up on the show, with her mum chaperoning her every move. At 16 she left school to concentrate on acting full-time.
In the five years since, her love of fashion has emerged and she has developed her own iconic style.
Perhaps not surprisingly, her passion for clothes, coupled with having a footballer boyfriend, has led to her being dubbed the Weatherfield Wag.
“I think it’s quite funny,” she says. “All the supposed Wags I have met with Scott are the nicest, loveliest girls you could imagine, so I really don’t mind. When I go out, people sometimes expect me to be stuck-up because of the character I play but I’m really not.”
On screen, Rosie is happily settled with builder Jason Grimshaw and Helen says she enjoys playing her character’s softer side the most, particularly recent scenes where Rosie defended Sophie when her sister came out as a lesbian.
“I’m really close to my little sister and really proud of her. You are obviously protective of your younger sister and I drew on that with the Sophie storyline,” she explains. “I don’t like it that much when Rosie is being nasty to people.”

Coronation Street guest star Candy McCulloch has admitted that she was shocked by the "fantastic" effort that Helen Flanagan put into their screen fight scene.
The actress plays the role of blonde bombshell Stacey in a new online Coronation Street spinoff, which focuses on Flanagan's character Rosie Webster as she tries to make it as a top model in London.
Just Rosie, which launched on Monday, sees arch-rivals Stacey and Rosie come to blows as they both make a live television appearance on Lorraine.
McCulloch told the Liverpool Echo: "We only had two takes to do the scene because we were filming right before Lorraine's show actually went out. They told us they had 10 minutes to do it in, but we couldn't fight for real because there was no fight co-ordinator.
"They said we should just struggle over a hat, which they both want to wear, so I thought we wouldn't touch each other. But Helen's quite a physical actress and as soon as they called action she got really involved."
She laughed: "It ended up being far more of a fight than anyone was expecting - especially me! I was thinking, 'Oh my God, what's she doing?' There were arms flying everywhere and she ended up hitting me over the head with the hat. But she was fantastic and at least my expression will be genuine shock."
McCulloch previously played the role of Sami in the third series of Hollyoaks Later.
Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan is *considering quitting the soap *because of her *crippling panic attacks.
Helen, 21, who plays ditzy model Rosie Webster, has told bosses she wants to walk away when her contract is up in March.
She has *spoken openly about her health problems since *returning to the ITV1 show in July following a three-month break.
But the actress, who is dating *Swansea footballer Scott *Sinclair, 22, admitted to *being broody last month after co-star Kym Marsh brought her baby daughter Polly on set.
Producer Phil Collinson will do all he can to *convince Rosie – who has been on the show for 12 years – to stay.
But an insider said: “It’s no secret Helen has been *struggling *recently.
“She’s been working hard and the stress has got to her. *Experiencing those panic *attacks has really shaken her up badly.
“She has said she doesn’t want to renew her contract. Corrie may have to face up to The Street without Rosie *Webster.”
In August we reported how Helen fled the set in tears after getting stressed out while filming a semi-naked modelling scene.
Then two weeks ago she admitted she had started experiencing panic attacks, saying: “Anyone who has ever suffered from them knows they are very scary.”
The insider said Helen’s *priorities had changed and *she wanted to spend more time with Scott.
